Okay the latest and greatest, the kids (all of them have started school) I thought it would be the happiest moment of my life. I was surprisingly crying as we dropped them off, they were not! I had a hard time letting them go as I stood by the classroom door, they did not!
The last couple weeks have definitely been filled with firsts. Roman started high school, and all of our Ethiopian born children were separated for the first time ever (each is in his/her own class) no teacher deserves two Mitchells at once. Sierra got to be the big sister at school as she is now in 2nd grade. She was very concerned how hungry she would be by lunch time since she had to wait for the Kindergartners and 1st graders to eat (just like a Moss). Of all things new things happening this year she is concerned with will she get a snack before lunch!
Everyone is asking what grades we put the kids in so here goes…..
Saba and Gizachew(Yigzaw) are in Kindergarten and Taye is in first grade. He should probably be in second but I don’t think Sierra is ready for that yet. Maybe we will move him up in mid-year.
Taye is quite popular and has been invited to one party so far and Saba yells to all her friends in the parking lot, however we hear she will not talk in class. It bothers me just because she might quite possibly be the most advanced in her English skills however she is to shy to show it. Gizachew’s teacher says he is so well behaved, our response was “really?” We used to enjoy being the ones he mimicked now he is saying “chop, chop” like his teacher.
No on to the fun stuff, last weekend we went to a friend of mines wedding, we felt very honored to be invited with all the kids. Just a month or two ago we would not have been able to go because the kids would not have been able to handle it, however they seemed to be the life of the party. Mitch and I got to pretend for a couple hours that we had no kids as we sat and ate in peace while they all heated up the dance floor. Taye spent his time mimicking a older more mature dancer and needless to say only one of them looked cool. In case you were wondering, Roman also had his share of dance partners and I was not one of them.
Well that’s all for now.
PS we have had another trip to the ER for stiches. If you are following the count we are still at 6 teeth and two sets of stitches in the last two months
